Sibling Incest 6

One Night on Aquila Island byDoctorHookŠ

Dani clutched her boyfriend's hand as they leaned against the top deck rail of the ferry boat. The light early summer breeze, augmented by the speeding ferry, made her long, straight, brown hair flitter violently behind her. Her eyes were on the water, but her mind was on her younger, twenty-one-year-old brother. She hoped he would call before they got out of range. The ferry was speeding away from the mainland and she knew she had only minutes left.

She scanned the horizon for Aquila Island, but could see nothing but the smooth line where calm water met blue sky. She knew she wouldn't see it, since they were still well within view of the mainland, but she still liked to watch for it, like she did when she was a little girl, hoping to see it the very second it became visible.

A tickle in her back pocket made her instinctively let go of Chad's hand and reach for her phone. It was Sean. "Hey!" she said to her brother.

"Did you make the ferry?" he asked.

"Wait a minute," she said, and quickly walked into the cabin on the upper deck to escape the noisome wind. "Yes. Are you going to make it?" she asked, in the relative quiet of the cabin.

"I'm sorry, Dani. We're not going to make the last ferry," he said regretfully.

"Why not? I thought you guys were going to be right behind us!"

"We got a late start and then got caught in traffic. There's just no way we'll get there in time. We already turned around to go home. There's no point in going if we can't get to the island tonight."

Dani sighed into the phone but said nothing.

"I know," he said. "I fucked up. I'm so sorry, Weez." Sean was clearly upset, but Dani had heard it before.

"I was looking forward to this, Sean," she said almost tearfully.

"Everything was perfect. I was going to meet Chloe, you and I were going to catch up...and now..."

"You guys can still have a good time," he comforted.

"It just won't be the same without you."

"I know. I was looking forward to it too. It's been so long since I've been to the island."

Aquila Island was a small resort town, only accessible by ferry or small plane. The town proper was quite small, with everything within walking distance. The countryside was vineyards from one end of the island to the

other, wineries being the chief industry there. The brick streets of town were lined with bars and restaurants and small hotels. There was literally nothing to do there but have a good time.

Dani and Sean used to visit the island frequently with their parents when they were younger. That was when it was a more family-friendly environment, with kids riding bikes all over the countryside and sparsely trafficked streets. These days, it was full of college kids with two things on their minds: getting drunk and getting laid. The new nickname for the getaway destination was "Tequila Island," which was rightfully resented by the locals.

Dani and Sean said their goodbyes and she slumped down into a bench seat to coddle her sorrows for a moment. She loved Sean, but he frustrated her sometimes. She was already missing him, her heart wrapped around the idea of spending some time with him this weekend. She would make the best of it, though. This would be a good opportunity to get closer to Chad.

After some minutes Dani returned to the railing next to her boyfriend and thought she could make out the first mere sliver of land on the horizon.

"Well?" asked Chad.

"They can't make the last ferry."

"Typical," he judged. "That's so inconsiderate."

"Yeah," Dani said, half-agreeing with him. Sean wasn't inconsiderate; he was just disorganized. He tended to fly by the seat of his pants, and rarely stuck to the plan. Dani was just used to it by now.

Dani and Chad sat down on a bench while she rested her head on his shoulder, dozing off to the hypnotizing drone of the ferry's engines.

Some time later Dani awoke to voices nearby and looked over the bow. She had been asleep longer than she thought. The welcoming sight of trees lining the shoreline of her beloved island lifted her spirits. She took in the beauty of the island as they walked down rows of waiting parked cars and got back in Chad's to relax and await disembarkation. Chad climbed into the driver's seat and clicked on the key to listen to the radio. The island's one radio station was pumping out Bob Marley.

"So, have your parents met Chloe yet?" Chad asked about Sean's new girlfriend.

"Not yet. He usually wants my approval before bringing them home to Mom and Dad. He seems pretty crazy about this one, though. My opinion might not even matter." She was anxious to meet his new girlfriend. She was all Sean had talked about for the last two months. This would have been a fun weekend.

"She must be smokin' hot!" exclaimed Chad in a joking tone.

"And that matters to you why?" she asked, punching his arm.

Chad smiled. "None of my concern. Just making sure your brother keeps his standards high."

"Yes, I know you're very concerned about who my brother dates," she chided dryly.

Dani had been with Chad for about six months. He was her only serious boyfriend in college, and their relationship had reached a point where the next steps were potentially big ones. Chad was twenty-nine and had just completed his graduate studies and was looking at career opportunities that were several hundred miles away from where he lived.

Dani felt in her heart she would go with him if he asked her to, but they hadn't quite had that conversation yet.

"We're next," Chad announced as he put the car in gear and headed down the ramp to dry land. After checking in and dumping their luggage on the bed at their small hotel, they were both ready to get their party faces on and decided to head to the bar across the street for a little warm up drink.

They stood by the bar of the small sailing-themed pub, sipping on their beers, checking out the entertainment and looking for a place to sit down. "This band sucks," noted Chad after fifteen minutes of three-chord johnnies. The entertainment on the island was always hit or miss. They decided to find somewhere else. They walked hand-in-hand, checking out the people and the sounds and smells of Harbour Street. The weekend crowd was nearing its peak in the early evening hours and lots of people were in the streets. As the sound of the crappy band faded away, the sound of another band gradually took its place as they neared the Slippery Lizard.

"They're usually pretty good here," Chad said hopefully. They paused outside the bar to watch a guy walking on stilts and juggling bowling pins. There was no shortage of oddball entertainment on the streets of Aquila, whether it was sword swallowers, fire eaters or magicians. Still holding her boyfriend's hand, Dani felt a stranger take her other hand as they watched the juggler. She instinctively turned to see who it was, but her unknown aggressor moved behind her, preventing her from seeing who it was. Dani let go of Chad's hand and spun around to identify her sneaky assailant, who grabbed her and hugged her before Dani could see his face, but by now she knew who it was. "You lousy bastard!" she said into his ear with feigned anger as she hugged his neck. "You tricked me!" she said to her brother.

Sean kissed her forehead. "You're so easy!"

"I hate you. One of these days I'll see you coming, Sean Ellis!"

"Good luck with that. Dani, I want you to meet Chloe."

"It's nice to finally meet you!" Dani said to her.

"I'm sorry about all this," said Chloe, shaking her hand. "I told him not to trick you."

"It's my fault for not seeing through his shenanigans. You'd think I would know him better after twenty-one years!"

They both laughed. "This is my boyfriend, Chad."

"Hi, Chad," said Chloe.

"Oh, you're that Chloe!" said Chad as they shook hands.

Chloe looked at him for a moment, trying to decipher his strange comment, then burst out laughing. Sean and Dani exchanged a puzzled glance.

"Oh my god!" exclaimed Chloe. "What's it been, six years? Seven?"

"At least. How is Shonda? Who knew her little sister would turn out to be even prettier than she was!"

"Oh, stop!" Chloe said to him before looking at Sean. "He used to date my sister," Chloe explained to Sean and Dani.

"Small world," commented Dani.

"That's the craziest thing I ever heard!" exclaimed Sean. "What are the odds?" He was just tickled that they had all found a common thread so quickly. "Isn't that something, Weez?"

Dani smiled and nodded her head. "We were just about to check out this bar," she said abruptly, grabbing her boyfriend's hand. Sean and Chloe followed them up the steps of the Slippery Lizard.

Sean was delighted to see his sister after a long absence. They saw less and less of each other as they got older, which saddened them both, having been very close when they were children. It seemed like Dani looked different each time he saw her, resembling less of the skinny little girl he once knew and more of the beautiful woman she'd become. He always thought she was pretty, especially in high school, his high opinion of her helped along by the boorish comments his friends would always make about Dani's amazing body. He would castigate his friends for their behavior around her, but secretly, he thought she was a beautiful girl too.

As his sister walked up the steps, Sean's eyes were unwittingly drawn to the tight roundness of Dani's shorts. Dani's butt had always been his gold standard for posterior feminine beauty, to which all other women were compared. He often teased her about it, knowing it was why all his friends continually lusted after her. Dani's ass was legendary in high school. Sean had never permitted himself to feel any real attraction to Dani; she was his sister, after all, and sexual attraction to a sibling, even a gorgeous one, is relatively easy to squash. But he knew a perfect ass when he saw it, and Dani had one—a mere peripheral to a most beautiful feminine package, complete with a sweet and unassuming disposition underneath it all. A strange, delinquent chill cascaded from the core of his heart to the pit of his stomach. Something was different about her—maybe because he'd not seen her in several months. He'd never looked at his sister that way, and he immediately felt guilty. As they entered the bar, he finally had the will to tear his eyes away from her behind. He took Chloe's hand to feel the comfort of reality again and scanned the bar for an empty table.

Chad had already found one and was quickly leading Dani by the hand before the table got claimed by someone else. Seeing the table secured, Sean veered over to the bar to order four beers. He tipped the bartender and bunched up all four bottles in his hands and gingerly carried them across the noisy, music-filled pub to the table. "First round's on me for all the undue stress I caused today," he said loudly.

"Yeah, that'll about cover it," Dani said smugly. "One ruined weekend equals one beer."

"I didn't ruin it! We made it, didn't we?"

Dani laughed and took his hand as he sat down. "I'm really glad you made it," she said into his ear. "Chloe seems nice." The other two could not hear them over the music. "Cute too!"

"She's great. I've never met anyone like her, Dani! It's like all the girlfriends I've had up to now don't even matter anymore."

"Sounds like you're in love, big guy."

"Nah, I just like her for the sex," he kidded.

Dani lightly put her hand on his forehead, and then quickly and rudely pushed him backward by the head, nearly knocking him out of his seat.

"Her sister's a total bitch, though," Sean said, recovering from Dani's non-verbal reprimand. "I don't know what Chad would have seen in her."

"He likes bitches," Dani noted with a wicked smile.

They both looked across the table at Chad and Chloe, who were intently focused on Chloe's phone as she flipped through pictures. The two looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter, and then both looked back at the phone, nearly touching heads. Sean and Dani exchanged glances, smiling but confused. At last Chloe looked up at them.

"Wanna see a picture of Chad from high school? The hair alone is worth a look."

Chloe handed the phone to leaned over his sister to senior prom. His hair was style, with a 3-inch wide

Dani who began laughing uncontrollably. Sean get a look. It was Chad and Shonda at her groomed straight up in the front, Vanilla Ice bleached blond patch, right in the front.

"That dude's a boss right there," giggled Sean.

"Okay," protested Chad. "We were all teenagers once."

"That's still no excuse for douche hair!" said Dani, regaining her composure.

Chad and Chloe resumed looking at pictures on her phone.

"I thought your hair was cute," Chloe said to Chad as the siblings continued talking with each other. "In fact, I kind of had a crush on you when you were dating my sister."

Chad glanced at Dani to ensure she wasn't listening. "I liked you too.

But you were way too young back then."

"Well, what about now?" Chloe asked with a sly grin.

"You're only twenty-one, so you're still young," he responded innocently.

"Yeah, but young in a good way, right?"

Chad smiled and nodded, somewhat embarrassed. "You're a lot nicer than your sister."

"I'm nicer in a lot of ways," she said with a sultry grin.

Dani glanced up from the conversation she was having with her brother to see Chad and Chloe still talking. It was great they hit it off so easily, giving Dani and her brother time to talk and catch up without being awkward. But, something about Chloe's body language bothered her. It was the way she flipped her hair every five seconds while she talked to Chad.

It was the way she looked at him and smiled after everything he said.

Dani had been given no reason to be jealous, but she knew how to read people. She knew Sean wanted her opinion on this girl, and red flags were going up. "Hey, what are you guys chatting it up about over there?"

Chad stopped and looked over at Dani. "Just about how mean her sister was," he said, partially telling the truth.

"You seem to be attracted to mean girls," said Dani with a wink.

"I'm a glutton for punishment," Chad responded.

"Come and dance with this mean girl," Dani ordered, standing up and holding out her hand. Chad smiled at Chloe as he took his girlfriend's hand and stood up, following her over to the stage. The band members all turned their heads to watch Dani as she approached the stage, and in a not-so-subtle nod, immediately began playing Pretty Woman.

Dani gave an embarrassed grin as she hugged Chad and hid her face in his neck. Sean and Chloe sipped their beers and watched the people on the floor dancing. Although she didn't mean to, Dani became the center of attention, at least for the men in the bar, including all the members of the band, who kept stealing glances at the sexy brunette dancing with Chad. The only man not watching her was Chad, who had his attention focused on the sexy blonde sitting with Sean.

The band started to play a slow song and Sean grabbed Chloe's hand to lead her to the dance floor. They danced close, as did Dani and Chad.

Sean snuggled up to his girlfriend in a slow dance, even though he wasn't much of a dancer.

As Chad held Dani tight, Sean and Chloe came and went from view several times. He couldn't help but notice that Chloe's eyes were on him every time they were facing each other. She was a pretty girl, flirtatious, and seemed like a lot of fun. But he had his own pretty girl in his arms. He didn't need to be flirting with a twisted love triangle. He tried to bury his face in Dani's neck, avoiding the confrontation, but Chloe's sultry eyes were giving him a most welcoming look.

Sean had one simple goal for this weekend: get Dani's approval on his new girlfriend so he could take her home to meet the parents. It wasn't that Dani had any kind of authority over him; he just trusted her instincts.

He needed validation from her before he would give his heart completely to Chloe. Indeed, he felt as though it might already be too late for that, though. He desperately wanted Dani to like her.

"You wanna switch for a second?" he asked Chloe. "I want to talk to Dani."

Chloe looked over at Chad, who glanced back at her a couple of times.

"Um, okay!" she said, maybe a little too eagerly.

Sean tapped Chad on the shoulder. "May I?" he asked jokingly, as if they were at a formal dance.

"Certainly," Chad responded in the same tone.

Dani looked at Chloe, then at Sean, and then put her arms around her brother's neck. She knew what was coming. This was going to be awkward.

"So..." Sean began, looking at Dani expectantly as they danced. "What do you think?"

"About what?" she evaded.

"About what," he mocked. "About Chloe!"

"Oh, she seems nice," came the canned vanilla response. "I haven't had much time to get to know her."

"Isn't she great?" Sean just knew she would like her.

"She's really cute."

"Yeah. You think Mom will like her?"

Dani glanced over at Chloe and Chad. She was chatting in Chad's ear like they were old friends. "I don't know, Sean. Mom's a tough cookie about boyfriends and girlfriends sometimes."

"I think she will."

Clearly, Sean was hearing what he wanted her true feelings between the lines, and them. If he was going to understand what Chloe, she would need to put it bluntly, ruin his night.

to from Dani. She was putting Sean was conveniently missing she really was thinking about and she didn't have the heart to

At last the song ended and the couples parted. Chad headed straight for the bar and ordered four more beers for the group. He sat next to Dani, and across the table from Chloe, who continued to steal glances at him through the conversation and several more rounds of beer. The silent flirting went unnoticed by Sean, who was quite content at getting to hang out and party with the two girls he loved most in the world.

Dani, however, was not so inattentive. She said nothing about it, but could sense the electricity between her boyfriend and Sean's girlfriend.

Something was going on beneath the surface. She found herself not feeling sad for her own potential heartbreak, but feeling angry that someone who supposedly loved Sean was so ready to throw his heart under the bus. Or maybe it was just her imagination. Maybe she was prejudging Chloe because Chad had a history with her. She didn't know for sure. All she really knew was she didn't like this girl that Sean brought to the island.

As the conversation waned, Sean was ready for a change of venue. "Okay, Turk's or Cabrio?"

"Cabrio!" Chloe volunteered. Turk's was another live music bar, Cabrio was a popular dance club. Cabrio would be a change of atmosphere and seemed to be the clear winner, so they finished their beers and headed down the street to the next bar on the night's agenda.

After waiting about fifteen minutes to get in, they split up once inside.

Sean headed straight for the bar to buy a round of shots. The thumping beats of the club sound were being pumped out by a hot little blonde DJ

wearing nothing but butterfly pasties and spandex shorts. "Damn I love this place," Sean thought to himself as he eyed the DJ on his way to the bar. The atmosphere was pure sex.

"I need to use the ladies' room," Chloe announced.

"I'll go scope out a table," said Dani.

"I think I'm going to go to the restroom too," said Chad and followed behind Chloe.

Dani scanned the club for some empty seats, but the place was packed.

They were likely going to have to stand or dance. She stood awkwardly by herself and waited for her party to re-assemble. Glancing toward the restrooms, Dani suddenly felt a need to walk over there—not to go in, but to watch the doors. Dani was not the jealous type. She always thought jealousy ruined friendships and love relationships. But she felt like she'd be a fool if she didn't watch to see what Chad and Chloe did when they were alone. She was going to confirm or negate her hunch right there.

Page 2 One Night on Aquila Island byDoctorHook© She assumed they would both emerge from the restrooms and come right back out to the club, proving that her suspicions were unfounded. Chad walked out of the restroom first and started to walk back toward the bar when Chloe came out of the ladies' room and cut him off. Neither of them saw Dani, who waited near a corner, just out of sight.

Dani watched Chad lean against the wall, looking at Chloe with a grin on his face. Chloe approached him and said something. Chad smiled at her and looked around again, then back at Chloe. They continued to talk as Chloe got closer to Chad. Chloe flipped her hair and casually grabbed his shirttail. Dani's chest tightened as she anticipated what was coming.

Chloe smiled, looking up at Chad, bringing her face near his. She spoke something to him, all the while smiling sweetly as their lips drew near.

One more quick glance around, and then she kissed him, laying a hand on his chest. Dani's heart sank. She couldn't believe her instincts were right! She propped herself up against the wall on weakened knees and watched her boyfriend get yanked away from her by a corrupt vixen.

Their kiss deepened, beyond an experimental taste. Chloe's head tilted and her mouth opened further, accepting Chad's tongue as he leaned into her, driven by carnal instinct under the lustful spell of the DJ's pulsing beats.

Contempt crept into Dani's heart. The level of disrespect they were showing was unfathomable, their timing, crucially abhorrent. How could they be doing this right in the middle of a weekend double date? She couldn't decide whose face she wanted to throw a beer in more—her obviously disloyal boyfriend, or that bitch who was carelessly breaking her brother's heart. Her anger so unmitigated, her resolution of their break up so complete, she gathered her wits and walked up to confront them without any more hesitation.

"Careful, sweetie," she said to Chloe. "He's like a stray puppy that will go home with any little tramp that will have him."

"Dani!" said Chad, parting lips with Chloe. "This isn't what it looks..."

"Save it," Dani interrupted. "Don't insult me, okay?" She couldn't believe he was actually going to try and weasel out of an obvious bust.

"Seriously, what the hell are you two thinking?"

"You should try and relax a little. We're just having some innocent fun," he reasoned.

"Good for you. Have fun this weekend," Dani said, turning to go.

Chad grabbed her by the shoulder. "Can't we talk about this? I mean, we came all the way out here for some fun. You're just going to throw out the whole weekend because of a kiss?"

Chad's attempt to downplay their indiscretions further angered Dani and solidified her resolve. "Okay, Chad, let's talk. You're on a double date with your girlfriend's brother and his slut—I mean girlfriend. You decide to hook up with the slut—I mean girlfriend, but you still want to hang on to your old girlfriend. I don't get it; were you planning on tapping both of us this weekend? Wouldn't that be a treat!"

"Dani—" he began. She wheeled around with a stifling hand in the air. She wasn't even interested in his response.

She left them at the restrooms and made her way back to the bar. She spotted her brother awkwardly holding four shot glasses and walked over, taking one of them and immediately downing the cold shot of Jagermeister it contained.

"Hey! That was for a toast!" he protested, annoyed that Dani took hers without the group. Dani looked at him seriously. She had to tell him. It had to be right now. Her heart was already breaking for him.

"What?" he asked, perplexed by her somber facial expression. Dani looked like she was ready to break into tears. The other two approached tentatively. Chloe's expression was distraught.

"What?" Sean asked again, this time to Chloe. Something was amiss, but he couldn't put it together.

Dani stood next to her brother with her arms crossed, watching the two dalliers, giving them an opportunity to out themselves before she did.

"Sean, can we go talk?" Chloe asked nervously.

"Why don't you just tell him right here?" Dani interjected.

"Tell me what?" Sean was thoroughly confused.

Dani slipped her arm inside Sean's, partly as a subtle support for the impending bad news, and partly to convey to Chloe that she wouldn't be getting an opportunity to talk her way out of her indiscretions. "Are you going to tell him or am I?" Chloe looked around nervously, building the courage to confess.

"Here, maybe this will help," said Dani taking two shot glasses and graciously handing one to Chloe and one to Chad. "Drink up, kids! It's a

party, right? We're all just here to have fun." Her sarcastic tone brazenly mocked Chad.

Chloe sat the shot glass, still full of Jager, down on the bar and quickly grabbed Sean by the arm, pulling him away from his sister and toward the exit. As Dani moved to follow them out, Chad's hand grabbed hold of her arm to keep her there. The gesture incensed Dani. She sure as hell wasn't going to stand there and listen to some bullshit story from an unfaithful boyfriend. Without thinking, she wheeled around, fist-first and took a blind swing in Chad's direction, planting two knuckles just above his left eye.

"Ah, fuck!" Dani exclaimed, doubling over in pain and holding her right hand with her left. She wasn't expecting that to hurt so much. Chad stumbled backward, disoriented from the surprise attack. The other two stood watching in disbelief, along with a few nearby club patrons. Dani recovered quickly and looked hard at Chad. "Of all people!" she said tersely of his choice of cheating partners, and then grabbed Sean with her good hand, leading him out the exit doors.

Out on the sidewalk, Sean was in shock at the sudden, terrible turn of events. "Dani, what the fuck?"

"I'm so sorry for making a scene in there. I've just never been so upset." Dani suddenly felt the rush of pain in her right hand. She began to weep, holding her injured hand with her left.

Sean saw that she was hurt and gently took her hand to examine it. "You okay, Weez? Would you mind telling me what happened in there?"

"Chad and Chloe," she said, drying her eyes with her good hand. "I caught them."

Sean looked at her for a moment. "You caught them what?" He asked at last.

"Kissing. I'm sorry, Sean."

"Pfft, they were probably just being stupid and having fun," he rationalized.

"They were making out."

Sean thought for a moment, and had to sit down on the curb. "I don't understand."

"They were by themselves by the restrooms. I watched them. It's been building all night." Dani figured the only way to get him to understand was to be straight-up.

Sean sat for a moment with his head in his hands. "I know they've been real friendly, but I thought it was all cool." He pictured them kissing in the bar right under their noses. "Wow, what a fucking turd!" he said at last. "I can't believe he would do that to you!"

"Well, what about Chloe?" Dani thought it was odd that Sean first considered Chad's indiscretions over his own girlfriend's.

"Eh, she's easy. I told you I was only into her for the sex," he said, casually faking apathy.

Dani had a good laugh and the pain in her hand eased a little. But, she knew her brother wasn't as tough as he was putting on. "Do you need to talk to her?"

Sean looked longingly at the doors of the club. His first instinct was to go back in there and give Chloe a chance to explain what happened. But then he felt like even more of a chump. His heart was in a knot, but the recent events of the night only confirmed what he already suspected in his head: His girlfriend waseasy.

"Do you need to talk to Chad?" he asked.

"I've said my piece. I'm done with him."

Sean scratched his head and tried to decide what to do. His sister's steadfast resolve gave him the courage to be strong. "Then I'm done with her," he finally said.

Dani looked at her brother sitting on the curb, being as tough as he could under the circumstances. Her heart was breaking for him. The truth was, if it weren't for Sean, she wouldn't have had the will to ditch Chad so easily. She felt empowered in their solidarity. "Let's get out of here," she finally said.

"Definitely," Sean agreed as he stood up to go. "Wait right here," he ordered and ran back into the club, right past the door guy, much to Dani's surprise.

"What is he doing?" she thought to herself. She figured he was probably settling the score. She hoped he didn't get himself into trouble. That was all she needed now, stranded on the island with no boyfriend and her brother in jail.

A minute and a half later, Sean came trotting back out the door with a bag of ice in his hand. "Hold this, Joe Frazier."

Dani smiled as she took the ice bag and placed it on her aching knuckles.

The two started for the hotel, walking side-by-side in the warm summer night. "Remind me never to piss you off," he said without smiling. Dani gave him a hip bump, almost knocking him into the street. They had both suffered a tremendous emotional loss in the blink of an eye, but they had each other.

Sean re-ran the events of the night in his head, trying to understand how he missed the signs that his girlfriend was hooking up with another guy right under his nose. "I don't get it," he said.

"Don't get what?"

"Why would Chad throw away a girlfriend like you for Chloe?"

"Why do you think? Did you even look at her?" Dani sarcastically reasoned.

"She's pretty, but compared to you? Please!"

"Oh, whatever," she replied, embarrassed.

"Dani!" Sean reprimanded as he grabbed her by the arm, stopping her in front of a black glass storefront. Their reflections were easily visible in the glass. "Look at yourself! I mean, you're perfect!" He rattled off a list of superlatives describing Dani that would have made a supermodel's heart flutter. "Beautiful eyes, cute nose, long, pretty hair, perfect breasts..." Sean stopped, embarrassed. Dani quietly giggled through her nose to fill the awkward silence. "Anyway, it's true. You're smart and funny and more fun to be around than any of my friends. And I haven't even mentioned what you have back here," he said, brazenly smacking her round butt. Dani's heart fluttered at Sean's deliciously naughty gesture. "Seriously, Dani, if you weren't my sister..." he trailed off. He had just about gone too far.

"If I weren't your sister, I'd say you were laying on some serious bullshit right now," she said as she continued walking.

Sean stood where he was. "I'm not even trying to pay you a compliment, I'm just telling you how it is," he shouted after her. "Why would I bullshit you?" He ran to catch up.

"I don't know, maybe to make me feel better?"

"Do you feel better?"

"A little." Dani smiled to herself as she slipped her arm inside her brother's once again. "My hand's cold."

Sean stopped and took the ice bag and gently held Dani's injured hand by the wrist. "Can you move it?" Dani wiggled her fingers. "Well, nothing's broken, I guess. He gently stroked her knuckles, now swollen and slightly purple, before handing her back the ice bag. "Danielle Louise, I've never seen you do anything like that before," he chided.

"Nobody ever pissed me off like that before," she replied. "Stupid jerk was cheating both of us."

"Yeah, you're right," agreed Sean. "You defended my honor." His voice got squeaky and high-pitched, like a damsel in distress. "You're my hero! The impression made Dani giggle.

As they approached their hotel, Sean pulled out his phone and turned it off.

"Why did you do that?" Dani asked.

"Will power. If it doesn't ring, she can't talk her way out of this. I'm feeling strong right now; I want to stay that way."

Dani looked at him for a moment before grabbing her own phone and turning it off as well. She gave him a terse smile and shoved the phone back in her pocket.

Dani realized they didn't have a plan for this sudden turn of events.

"What do we do now?"

"Let's get out of here. I'm ready for this night to be over," said Sean.

"Are you just going to leave Chloe?"

"I guess she has a new ride," he reasoned.

"Yeah, me too. Where's your car?"

"In back. I'll help you with your stuff; I didn't bring much."

Dani re-packed the few items she had taken out of her two suitcases and Sean carried them to the car. He then got his own bag stowed and they headed south out of town, toward the ferry dock, eager to put this strange night behind them.

As they drove down the hill toward the ferry station, Sean saw the twinkling lights of the ferry pulling away from the dock. "Oh, crap! What time is it?"

"It's midnight," Dani replied.

"That's the last ferry until six."

Dani gave a sigh. "This night just keeps getting better and better."

Sean pulled up to the closed embarkation gate and stopped the car. "Now what?"

Dani tried to think of a solution. "I'm not going back there," she insisted.

"I agree. But we can't spend the night in the car, either." They sat for awhile, listening to the radio. This was the first either of them had relaxed since the night began. In the peaceful quiet of Sean's car, Dani's head began to clear. She rolled down the window and dumped the water out of the bag she had been holding, the ice having long melted.

Her hand ached, but felt much better than it did an hour ago.

Neither of them was quite ready to talk about the events of the night.

Dani looked over at Sean, who was watching the distant lights on the water. As she studied his cute profile, she couldn't help but feel thankful that she was with him. She knew she should have been having one of the worst nights of her life, complete with a broken hand to go along with her broken heart. But her heart wasn't in pieces; it was wrapped around her brother right now.

She surmised Sean was having a similar experience, having dealt with this ugly situation seemingly without emotion. It was as though he had already put it behind him. She knew better, though. She knew it would come out sooner or later, and she was going to be there for him when it did.

Dani reached over and took her brother's hand. They squeezed each other in silent solidarity, each effortlessly consoling the other without speaking a word. They sat in quiet reflection for some minutes, holding hands.

Dani watched the soft lights of the ferry gradually diminish in the distance as it made its final trip for the evening toward the mainland, without them on it. She realized they were just going to have to bite the bullet and get another room for the night. Suddenly, a light went on in her head. She knew just where they would be staying.

"Let's go to Mon Amour," she blurted out.

Sean laughed out loud. "Perfect!" He happily started the car and turned it around, pulling out of the ferry station onto the highway, heading toward the far eastern end of the island, into the heart of wine country.

Mon Amour was a quaint bed and breakfast that sat on a vineyard that occupied the entire eastern tip of the island. Sean and Dani often stayed there with their family on their numerous trips to the island when they were younger. Their parents bought wine by the case to bring home whenever they visited. They had probably stayed in every room of the large house at one time or another.

Sean's spirits lifted at the thought of visiting a place from his childhood. It had been years since he'd been there, but he remembered right where it was. The house looked just like they remembered it. There was one light on downstairs and the rest of the house was dark. It was pretty late when they arrived. Sean parked the car and they went in the front door.

They approached the counter in the front room and could hear some rustling in back. A moment later, an elderly gentleman shuffled into the area behind the counter, yawning.

"It's awful late, kids," he said, but didn't sound too annoyed.

"Are there any rooms available?" asked Sean.

"Just one. It's the corner room."

"We'll take it," offered Dani.

He squinted at each of them individually. "And how will you be paying?"

"Oh! Uh," Sean fumbled for his wallet and produced a credit card. "Here you go."

The caretaker swiped the card and placed a paper on the counter for Sean to sign. "Upstairs and to your left," he said, handing Sean the key. "All the way to the end of the hall. Breakfast is served from 6:30 to 10.

Enjoy your stay, Mr. and Mrs. Ellis."

"Oh, we're..." Sean began to correct him.

"Thank you!" Dani interrupted her brother. "Come on, honey!" she said to Sean. They walked up the stairs with bags in tow with big smiles on their faces.

"This is nice," observed Dani as she sat down on the one queen size bed.

"I'll sleep on the floor," Sean volunteered. Chivalry was alive and well for Sean, having been properly trained by his mother to give due deference to the comfort of any female in his company, even if it was his sister.

"You're sweet, but no. We can share the bed."

"Good," he said with relief in his voice. He really hated sleeping on the floor. They both had a laugh.

Dani felt a sudden burst of emotion and fought back tears. Her brother was such a good soul! He deserved much better than a slutty little

strumpet that would ditch him at the first sign of something more fun.

She abruptly stood up and hugged him around the neck.

"I'm sorry all this happened," she whispered simply.

"Me too," he said, burying his face in her long, brown hair. "But I'm glad I'm with you." They hugged for a long time—past the point of awkwardness, but neither wanted to let go. Just when Dani thought she would let go, Sean hugged her even tighter. It felt so good to be in his arms! There was something about touching Sean intimately that gave Dani a quiver in her heart, and a comfort to her soul. It was a familiar feeling, yet ancient—a coveted sense of serenity that seemed to be granted only to children. But there she was, an adult, feeling like a little girl in her brother's arms.

She had an impulse to kiss him, but knew that would be inappropriate.

Instead, she finally let go and opened her suitcase, pulling out a long nightshirt. "Um, I'm just gonna..." she motioned awkwardly toward the bathroom. Sean smiled and watched her disappear into the one private area in their room and shut the door.

While his sister was changing, Sean quickly stripped down to his underwear and t-shirt and climbed under the covers. As his head sank into the soft pillow, he was alone for the first time that day. His thoughts immediately flipped back to the scene at the club. He had played it cool for his sister in the parking lot and not made too big a deal about losing his girlfriend. The truth was, the thought of Chloe cheating on him cut through his heart like a hot knife. He thought she loved him. He didn't fall for girls too often, but he had fallen for her—or at least her sexy body. He was coming to terms with the fact that their relationship was highly physical. The loss hurt, nonetheless. Having Dani around definitely buffered the pain. It's always good to have someone with whom to commiserate, especially someone who loves you. He now felt even closer to his sister. And his heart was aching even more for her situation.

Dani emerged from the bathroom to find her brother already comfortable in bed. Most girls probably would have rejected the idea of sleeping in such close quarters with their little brother, and would have taken up his offer to sleep on the floor, but Dani's heart warmed at knowing she was going to sleep next to Sean. Being close to him tonight seemed like the most comforting thing she could do.

Sean watched her him. Her slender nightshirt. Sean down in the bed. still on.

as she sat down on the side of the bed, her back toward figure looked so beautiful under the thin fabric of the reached out to touch her back, but withdrew as Dani lay She reached over and turned off the one lamp that was

The room was very dark, there being no persistent lights of the city to filter in through the windows. They were fairly isolated in their corner room, out on the tip of the island, far from the mainland, and out of communication. She was glad their other two companions had no idea where they were. She didn't want to see Chad ever again. She wasn't so sure about what Sean thought. He was a little hard to read, and she thought maybe she would try and coax it out of him.

"Sean?" she asked toward the invisible ceiling.

"Uh huh?"

"Are you okay?"

He swallowed. "I'm fine."

"I know. It's just that...I want you to know I'm here for you. I know everything happened so quickly tonight. If you want to talk about it, I'll listen." She didn't want to sound too needy, but she felt like she wanted to talk worse than he did.

"What's there to talk about? I was dating a slut, and now I'm not. I'm sorry for bringing her. It really screwed things up for you." He was being a little short with her, but Dani knew it was because he didn't like confronting his feelings.

"It's not your fault; it was going to happen sooner or later," Dani reasoned. A long silence followed.

"I'm sorry," he said again, quietly. Dani sensed a change.

"You really liked her, didn't you?" she prodded.

Sean waited a moment before answering. "Yeah, Dani," he said in a sarcastic tone. "I really liked her." He was trying desperately to prevent the first tear from making it's way to the surface, thereby starting a blubbering torrent in the presence of his sister. He was annoyed that she was succeeding in getting him to recognize his broken heart. "What else do you want to know? How I hoped you guys would end up best friends? How I hoped the two girls I loved most in the world would always be with me?"

He was being far more emotional than normal. He was in pain, but Dani knew it was for his own good and she felt like she could comfort him.

"I'll always be with you," she said softly. Dani thought his hand was under the covers very close to hers. She moved her hand slightly toward him and they touched pinky fingers. Sean curled his finger around hers and they locked their two fingers together.

Touching her was comforting, but the bitter reality of discovering that his dream girl was just a cute face on a loose body was settling its unforgiving weight onto Sean's heart, squeezing the first tears from his eyes. He kept quiet as a mouse, clinging to his sister's finger as his one source of comfort. An involuntary sniffle alerted Dani to what her brother was feeling. She wanted to comfort him. She wanted to make it okay. She wanted to fill the void that Chloe had left behind.

"Shh..." she quietly shushed, touching his face in the darkness. "Try not to think about her," she whispered. "I'm here for you okay?" She stroked his hair and gently rubbed his temples, wiping away tears as she found them. Dani paused, cupping his face in her hand and on impulse, leaned over and gave Sean a soft kiss on the lips. It was a comfort kiss, but it felt better than that. She lingered near him, barely touching noses, when their lips touched again. A second kiss felt even better. The guilty quiver in Dani's heart compelled her to stop.

She put her head on Sean's pillow and lay close to him for several minutes, wanting to help ease his heartache. She was crushed herself, but

felt stronger than Sean. She was feeling more anger about what the other two had done than sadness.

At length, Sean turned toward her and felt for her hand under the covers.

She offered her good hand to him and he squeezed it, rubbing it sweetly.

"I'm glad I have you," he said.

It was a wonderful thing for Dani to hear. She felt like she was bringing him the comfort he needed. "You'll always have me," she responded.

She offered her lips to him again, and Sean could sense she was near by her breath on his nose. He leaned in ever so slightly in a move affirming her intentions, and their lips met again.

Dani squeezed his hand as she held her lips against his, not moving. She felt compelled to kiss him like a lover, but her conscience held back that strange inclination. She didn't understand what was driving her to do such a thing. She was guided by the pure warmth she felt in her heart.

At last she was overcome by the emotional comfort of being so intimately close to her brother. They were in bed together. They loved each other.

They needed each other's comfort. No kiss had ever felt so right. She opened her mouth and kissed him deeper.

Sean leaned into her on impulse. What they were doing felt deeply loving to both of them, but was also inappropriate and probably needed to stop.

But neither of them did. As they continued kissing, Sean felt the tip of his sister's tongue on his lips, a tremendous guilty pleasure. He felt so guilty that a mild panic set in.

He didn't want it to stop, but he needed it to. It was going too far. He reached behind him and flipped on the lamp. "Jesus, Dani!" he exclaimed softly, sitting up. Dani knew she had crossed a line. She sat up with him apologetically.

"I just got carried away, I'm sorry. Do you think I'm gross?" She was thoroughly embarrassed. She had thrown caution to the wind and let her urges take over completely, allowing herself to do something she never thought she would do. Dani was distraught with shame.

They were both sitting on the bed cross-legged, facing each other and squinting in the harsh light. Sean looked at her beautiful face. Her straight dark hair was tucked behind her ears and falling behind her back. She was nearly in tears at the thought of having offended her brother. Sean immediately regretted calling her out on the illicit behavior. In truth, it was the sweetest kiss he'd ever experienced, but he didn't know what to make of it. Touching her wet lips and smelling her sweet breath was a pleasure he'd never considered possible.

Seeing his sister so upset brought back all the unpleasant emotions he had been oppressing that night, and felt his own well of emotion about to gush. He had forced Dani to step out of their newly-minted circle of trust, and couldn't bear to see her endure such a cold, harsh rebuke. He decided the only way to alleviate his sister's embarrassment was to kiss her back, inviting her back into their private circle and letting her know she wasn't alone. And so he did.

Looking into her pretty hazel eyes, Sean leaned in slowly, earnestly, cautiously. He looked at her frowning lips, then her pretty nose, and then back into her eyes. He was replaying their last kiss in his head, wondering why he had stopped her.

Dani closed her eyes at her brother's approach, unmoving, unable to predict what would happen, until their lips touched again. Relief washed over her body, once again feeling the wet warmth of her brother's lips.

She allowed him to direct the kissing, mimicking his every move, opening her mouth slowly with him, closing as he did, opening again. She dared not explore with her tongue again, afraid of another rebuff. The relief soon turned to desire once again, but Dani held back her inclination to advance the loving.

Sean desperately wanted to feel her tongue again, to taste her taboo secret, but held his back, attempting to pretend that their loving kiss was non-sexual. But, his instinct could only be held at bay for so long, his deep desire only kept on so short a leash. His tongue tentatively ventured out and tasted her lips gently before finding Dani's tongue and enveloping it. Dani sighed a quiet whimper at finally kissing her brother for real. The world was moving in slow motion, but both their hearts were in overdrive.

This show of affection exposed their true desires in their naked forms.

They each had always felt the other was beautiful and attractive, but it never went beyond platonic love. The care and respect between them was not of lovers, but of best friends. The rush of relief and happiness it gave Dani pushed her emotions over the edge. She exhaled loudly through her nose as she began to weep, their lips still together.

Sean tried to pull away in response to her crying, but she held his face firmly and gently with both hands, continuing to kiss through the tears.

She didn't want this first sweet taste of her brother to end.

Sean could hold his emotions in check no longer. The love he had for his sister was being shown in its purest form, and the beauty of the moment was too much to bear. At last his masculine defenses came tumbling down, allowing the tears to flow as easily as his sister's were.

They kissed tenderly for what seemed an eternity, their hot faces unable to separate, the love flowing between them, as if a physical connection was the only way the signal could reach. Silently, earnestly they traded the knowledge of the other's affection with each kiss, affirming the deep desires that had been repressed for so long. At last they parted lips, and dared to look at each other, both sets of eyes red and swollen. This had been a night of emotional lows and highs, and they had been experiencing them together, but neither was sure how the other would take this sudden change in their relationship. They both needed a moment to contemplate what just happened.

Sean leaned back and looked at Dani, not knowing what to say. Sitting cross-legged in her nightshirt, Dani was unknowingly showing her white and purple undies to Sean. She had always had a lack of modesty around him, figuring he didn't care if he saw her underwear. Sean always enjoyed a secret guilty pleasure whenever he would get a glimpse of something he shouldn't, but tonight he immediately had an urge to lighten the mood and call her out on it.

"I see London, I see France," he began with a sniffle, prompting Dani to quickly shove her nightshirt down between her legs before he could finish the punch line.

"Hey!" she snapped. "Eyes up here!" They both smiled with relief.

"What the hell are we doing, Weez?"

"I don't know," she responded, looking at his knees. "You know how when you're having a weird but pleasant dream but you're not really sure what's going on, you just know you feel good and you don't want it to end?"

Sean nodded. It was as though she was reading his mind.

Dani bit her lip and pushed back the tears. "I'm there," she affirmed.

Sean picked up her injured hand and held it gingerly while he examined it for swelling. "Does it still hurt?"

"A little."

"I'm glad you did that."

Dani laughed. "You're glad I got hurt?"

Sean nodded, smiling, still holding her hand.

"You shouldn't be glad I got hurt!" she exclaimed, pulling her hand back.

"I did that for you!"

"I know," said Sean, taking back her hand. "It was the sweetest right hook I ever saw!" He tenderly and repeatedly kissed her sore knuckles.

Dani watched him and how earnestly he was showing his love for her. She always felt loved by Sean, but this was deeper than she had ever hoped for. "Back there on the street, when we were looking at our reflections in the window," Dani began.

She had Sean's undivided attention. He remembered every word he said to her. She went on, "You made me feel so beautiful!"

"It's because you are beautiful."

Dani had been somewhat taken aback by all the gushing compliments Sean had given her. She didn't even see herself in such a flattering light, much less expect her brother to. She knew he was trying to make her feel better, but the sincerity with which had told her made her believe he was being genuine. She had been told how beautiful she was by countless men, but hearing it from Sean was more of an affirmation, as though it were okay to believe it now. "You're sweet," she said modestly.

Dani's heart was a whirlwind of absolute elation and confusion. These newly discovered feelings of mutual attraction, combined with the sudden heartbreak they had both experienced that night were stirring up emotions as deep as the blue sea. They had both been humiliated by those they thought they loved, and now the consolation they were giving each other felt better than the relationships they had lost in the first place. It seemed like a surreal dream.

"You're making this easier," she said to him. "I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you tonight."

Still holding her hand, he gently pulled her toward him. Their foreheads touched, followed by their noses. Slowly, they each tilted their heads, touching noses all the while, until at last their mouths nearly came

together again. They each lingered at the threshold, neither sure about what they were doing, simultaneously compelled forward by an overpowering attraction and restrained by the ever-present social boundary.

Finally Sean made the decision for them and crossed the threshold. She tasted and smelled sweeter than any girl he'd ever kissed. It was as though he had been blind to her sensual beauty for his entire life, his true feelings oppressed by the social mores that keep siblings emotionally apart. By letting his inhibitions drop just for a second, an attraction and desire was revealed to him deeper than any he'd ever experienced.

Every new girlfriend Sean had ever known was first introduced to his sister before things ever got serious. To Sean, Dani's seal of approval of his girlfriend meant everything. This practice was so obvious that even their parents teased him about it. It was a family joke that Sean was trying to find a girl just like Dani.

And now, sitting on the bed and kissing his beautiful sister, it suddenly occurred to Sean why he could never find his ideal girlfriend. He didn't just want a girl like Dani, he wanted Dani.

No longer afraid of crossing a boundary, Dani kissed him deeper, without fear of rebuke, allowing them to venture further into the unchartered territory of their sibling affection. Their breathing became audible as they calmly loved on each other, still holding hands in her lap.

Caught in a dazed bliss and enraptured by his sister's charm, Sean could hardly comprehend what he was doing. Was it really his dream girl he was kissing, or was it still his sister? The sudden, exquisite attraction he felt for Dani was overwhelming his soul, like his heart was going to burst. It was as though a window shade that had been drawn his entire life was suddenly thrown open, showing him how beautiful his surroundings really were.

With every sweet touch of tongues, with every trail of kisses left down the side of one's face, with every gentle nibble of an earlobe, and with every soft breath in an ear accompanied by the indiscernible, not-quiteaudible utterance of the three beautiful words lovers use, the delicate, forbidden pleasure of their love was revealed to the two siblings. How far they would let it go had yet to be discovered.

They stopped to look at each other again, still holding all four hands together, the same thing on both their minds. "What do we do now?" Sean asked her. It seemed they had started down a path neither of them had anticipated. Neither of them wanted to go back, yet going further seemed unthinkable.

Dani shrugged and smiled through the last remaining tears, blinking them away. "I could show you my underwear again," she suggested, giggling.

They both laughed.

"Okay, and then I'll show you mine," he suggested.

"I can see yours right now, moron!" She could also see he had a raging hard-on underneath his thin, silky boxers, which Sean suddenly became aware of. He let go of her hands and crossed his arms on his lap defensively.

"Someone's having naughty thoughts while kissing his sister," she scolded while rubbing the back of her left index finger with the right.

"Someone's sister has been busy seducing him," he defended.

"You touched me first," Dani accused with renewed joy at a classic sibling battle.

"No I didn't! I'm going to tell Mom!" he said teasingly as he reached for his phone.

"No don't! We'll get in trouble!"

"I'm calling her right now unless you show me your underwear again."

Dani rolled her eyes in feigned exasperation. Their impromptu childish game was a welcome relief to both of them. "Okay, just once," she said, grabbing the bottom of her nightshirt. "Are you ready?"

Sean looked her in the eyes, trying not to smile, and nodded. As Dani picked up her nightshirt, his eyes involuntarily went to her crotch, taking in her pretty purple and white panties again. Before he could process what he was seeing, Dani slammed her long shirt back down over her knees.

"Hey, that wasn't long enough!"

"Nobody said anything about duration," Dani pointed out. "You got your look."

"To the count of five," he demanded.

"Ugh!" she protested. "That wasn't the deal!"

Sean grabbed his phone and went to turn it on.

"Okay, okay!" she pleaded. "Five seconds, good god!"

They were both desperately trying to keep a straight face. "Okay, ready or not, here I go."

"Wait!" demanded Sean. "I need to get a better look." He lay down on his side, propping his head up on his hand, directly in front of Dani in preparation for his peep show. "Okay, I'm ready," he announced.

"Now you're just being creepy." Dani paused and looked at her brother. He looked so cute lying there on his side, obviously turned on by their little sex game. She could see his erection bulging from beneath his underwear and t-shirt. This game was all for a supposed cheap thrill for Sean, but the excitement was all Dani's, finding her own thrill in watching her brother get turned on. She was going to play this game for all it was worth.

"Unless..." she began dramatically. "You'd like to see something else?"

Sean looked up at her, genuinely surprised. He smiled at his sister's lascivious suggestion. All he could do was nod in the affirmative.

She got on her knees and bent down toward him, allowing the low neckline of her nightshirt to hang open, giving Sean a good view of her braless

cleavage. "Is there anything you can think of?" she asked him sweetly, jiggling her breasts slightly.

"Your ankles," he said coolly, his eyes glued to her soft humps hanging inside the shirt.

"I do have nice ankles," she admitted. "But I was thinking of something a little more sensual."

"More sensual than ankles?" he asked stupidly. "You must mean the buttocks!"

Dani stifled a laugh. He could always crack her up being stupid. "In that case, I'm afraid you will need to show me something of yours first."

"No problem!" Sean said gleefully, grabbing the waistband of his boxer shorts.

"And what I need you to show me," Dani said assertively, before he could do anything embarrassing, "is an example of your undying love for your sister."

"Oh," he said, disappointedly. "That sounds hard."

"No, no! It's quite easy. Tell me one nice thing you've done for me in the past year that I don't know about."

Sean knew this was going to be an easier question than she thought. He had myriad examples of favors he had done for her and had never given them a second thought.

"Just one?" he asked, as though he wasn't going to get the recognition he deserved.

"Get over yourself; one will do."

"Okay, here's one: Remember last summer when your boss had you making flower deliveries on Mother's Day, and you had a term paper due the next day?"

"Yes, I got all that done."

Sean smirked. "Not quite. Your boss called later in the day and had fifteen more deliveries for you. You were up in your room, totally stressed about school. I went down and made the deliveries for you so you wouldn't have to deal with it."

Dani thought for a moment, and then let out an enlightened gasp. "You did that for me?" She was genuinely surprised. "I had no idea."

"That's a hard job, man! It took all afternoon."

"I would have never gotten it done. I would have either ended up with no job or no term paper." Dani cleared her throat awkwardly, still on her hands and knees in front of him. "That was pretty nice. I guess I'd better hold up my end of the bargain. What was it you wanted to see?"

"Oh, I wanted to see my sister humbled. We're good." Sean winked at Dani and smiled. "Okay, why don't you tell me something nice you've done for me?"

"Pfft, where do I begin?" she asked, loftily.

"Oh, please, Mother Teresa! Okay, I'll narrow it down for you: How about something nice you've done to keep me out of trouble?"

Dani lay down on her side, facing her brother, and looked past him in deep thought. "There was the time I paid your speeding ticket for you so Mom and Dad wouldn't find out."

"But I already knew about that, so it doesn't count," he pointed out.

"And besides, I paid you back."

"Okay, fine." Dani thought for a moment, and then her eyes suddenly lit up. "Oh!" she said excitedly. "What about a certain broken picture frame in this very house, that you should have gotten spanked for when we were little?"

"Oh yeah!" exclaimed Sean. "I remember that! Why didn't I?" "Because you had an amazing, selfless sister who went to the manager with tears in her eyes and said she was sorry for accidentally breaking the picture frame. I totally took the heat for you. He couldn't bring himself to tell my parents. Then there was the time we were skiing at Boyne and you accidently tripped that old lady. I covered for you then too. Oh! And then y..."

Dani suddenly was unable to speak. Sean's lips were smothering hers in their deepest kiss yet. She kissed him back tenderly before pulling away.

"Oh, I see how you are! Can't hear the truth so you distract me!"

"You're the bestest sister ever!" Sean said, like he was seven.

"A sister with benefits," she said as she kissed him again. The comment brought the conversation squarely on topic.

"What, uh...what kind of benefits?" he asked tentatively without pulling his mouth away. He kissed her again.

Dani paused to weigh the implications of what she just said. They were behaving like lovers. Were they emotionally ready to be lovers? She desperately wanted to explore their new-found mutual attraction, but she was afraid—afraid of ruining their wonderful sibling affection. "I don't know, Sean," she said, staying in her comfort zone.

Sean looked deeply into the eyes of the sexiest girl he'd ever known. He had little doubt he could fall in love with Dani. The love had always been there, he just hadn't permitted himself to see it until now. He held her face in one hand and stroked her cheek with his thumb. Regardless of how sure he was of his love for her, he was afraid too. "I don't know what to do, Weez."

Dani loved the fact that the only person in the world who made a reference to her middle name was Sean, and even then only using his own cute abbreviation, like George Jefferson would. She hated her middle name, and scolded anyone who used it, but she loved being called 'Weez' by her brother. She reached out and touched his face, bringing hers close

and kissing him again. Her hand slid from his face around to the back of his head and then down his back. She came to within an inch of his waistband before raising her hand and smacking him on the ass.

Sean jumped at the sudden, exquisite spike of pain. He was surprised at Dani's aggression, but it served as a total turn-on. Then she hit him again, this time too hard to be pleasurable. "Ow!" he shrieked. "What was that for?"

"That was for the broken picture frame." They both had a giggle of relief.

After doling out the long-overdue punishment, Dani wanted to love on him even more, and scooted her body up close to his, pressing her full length against him. She squeaked out an involuntary moan at being in such an intimate position with Sean. She rubbed his arm up and down as it lay motionless on his side. Dani desperately wanted to feel her brother's hands on her, but she knew he wouldn't just start touching her out of the blue. Her hand came to rest on his, where she left it for a full minute while they kissed.

Slowly, gently, she picked up his hand and guided it toward her mouth, where she kissed his palm and placed it subtly on her cheek, never letting go. With deliberate tenacity, she slowly coaxed his hand down her neck to her chest, creeping ever so cautiously toward her breast, finally coming to rest on her shirt, over the soft hump. She pressed down, forcing him to squeeze her.

Sean took over from there, his heart suddenly lit with a burning desire to touch his sister where he never had before. He rubbed and squeezed and could feel her nipple go erect inside her shirt. He moved over to the other one, exciting the same reaction. Dani's breasts were average size, if not a little smallish, which conformed to her diminutive frame, and allowed the beautiful perfection of her behind to be her most attractive feature. But her breasts were perfect as far as Sean was concerned.

Everything about her was perfect.

Her breathing intensified at finally being touched intimately by Sean.

Everywhere he put his hands was electric! Her body tingled as he massaged her soft, round breasts, earnestly filling his hands with their tender lust. Dani pressed herself against his body as tight as she could, kissing down his chin and onto his neck. She tasted the tender skin, wetting it with her beautiful lips, and licking just enough to get a small audible reaction from Sean.

Sean worked one hand around to Dani's back, and slid it slowly down, across the satisfying hump of her behind, and found the bottom of her night shirt on the back of her thigh. Slipping his hand under the shirt, he boldly felt her undies, and glided his hand gently over them, getting a good feel of her cheeks, and imagining what the space between would feel like.

The electric charge Dani was already feeling doubled with Sean's hand on her ass. It was one of her most sensitive places, and she could feel wetness from her vagina begin to seep out into her underwear at the sudden jolt in her libido. Her body was enraptured with Sean's lustful feel!

Slowly, carefully, Sean lifted the nightshirt up over her hips, exposing her purple and white panties to the room. Higher he pushed the fabric of

the shirt, until it was half-way up her back, but stuck underneath the weight of her body on the bed, refusing to go any further.

He stopped tugging. They were making innocent love, with their clothes on. Perhaps their clothes should stay on, Sean thought. He decided not to pressure his sister.

As if in rebuttal to Sean's decision, Dani grabbed the part of the shirt her body was lying on and pulled it up to her armpits. Sean gladly helped her pull it the rest of the way off. They both held it as it finally let go of her head and discarded it on the foot of the bed.

The passionate kissing resumed with Sean's hand gently caressing Dani's bare back. The other found her breasts again, making sure her nipples stayed erect. Sean wasn't comfortable with Dani being the only one shirtless and grabbed his own t-shirt to remedy that. Dani eagerly helped him wiggle it toward his head. Sean sat up and raised his arms to make it easier. Dani sat up with him and removed it the rest of the way.

Sean got his first look at his sister's half-naked body, her light pink nipples still standing at attention. Her creamy breasts, although not large, still hulked over her flat tummy. The two siblings looked at each other for a moment, each acknowledging in their own mind they had crossed a boundary. Every step they took seemed like they were moving irrevocably away from the relationship they had always known, comfortable and loving, into this new one, still loving, but strange and exciting, if not a little scary.

"Are we good?" Dani asked her brother. She felt like she needed validation from him. They needed to be careful with their emotions. This was very shaky ground they were on.

"You're the one showing your breasts," Sean pointed out.

Dani smiled and rolled her eyes. "I'm just afraid of making a mistake.

You know I love you, no matter what, right?"

"Me too," Sean said, trying to maintain his gaze at her pretty eyes before looking down again at her supple breasts. "If one of us gets uncomfortable, we'll stop, okay?"

"Okay," she whispered. Like a kid just given permission to raid a candy store, Dani scooted herself onto his lap, straddling him and half-sitting on his thighs. She locked her fingers behind his neck and kissed him, before straightening up, bringing her pert breasts to just the right position for Sean to have his first taste.

Dani exhaled loudly as the warm wetness of her brother's tongue enveloped her nipple, then most of her breast as Sean opened his mouth wide to accommodate the soft flesh. She could feel his slippery tongue lashing her nipple, emanating waves of ecstasy through her body. She held the back of his neck and kissed the top of his head while he licked her, allowing her long brown hair to flow over him, tickling his shoulders and subtly nudging him onward.

Sean wrapped his arms around her and pressed the skin of their naked upper bodies together. Although they had agreed they could stop, neither of them felt in control of what was happening, as if the evolution of their love was a runaway train gliding along the tracks without an

engineer. Neither of them had the ability to shut it down; they could merely apply the brakes.

Dani limited the lower body contact to just thighs, purposefully disallowing her panties to come in contact with Sean's silk-clad erection. She had made a deal with her conscience that what they were doing was okay if they didn't touch down there. But her will to keep their slow-paced affection under control was waning. His rigid shaft was mere centimeters away from the swollen clitoris in her panties. Dani knew that allowing them to touch might take them beyond the point of no return. She squeezed the back of Sean's head with her forearms, pressing him against her as he resumed sucking her tits. Holding him tight, she could feel her body getting heavy, making it ever more impossible to maintain her chaste hover.

Her legs quivered as she struggled to maintain the strength to hold herself up, her body sliding down ever so slowly and inevitability to the bottom. Dani reluctantly succombed to the pain in the back of her legs and felt Sean's hardness gradually and earnestly press onto her softness, eliciting mutual moans as they felt the first tender incitement of sexual stimulation between brother and sister.

Sean hugged around Dani's naked waist, inadvertently pulling her down, pressing her onto him harder than her body weight could accomplish on its own. She tried to hold up one last time, but it was impossible to resist any more. Dani's moistened labia inside her panties pressed against and slightly wrapped around Sean's erection, separated by their two thin layers of fabric. Her ability to hinder the progress of their love evaporated between her legs.

Dani rocked her hips, grinding her clit on his hard shaft, and let go of the inhibitions that had been holding her back until now. She moaned lightly as they began kissing again, holding each other tightly, their bare chests touching, rubbing, caressing in cadence with Dani's gentle rocking.

They sat there together, kissing and rubbing for several minutes. Dani watched her brother nuzzle her nipple with his nose every so often in between caresses of the tongue. He was such a gentle lover, never making a drastic move, perfectly content to be letting things progress on her terms. His hands were on her back, rubbing her lovingly, occasionally touching the lacy waistband of her underwear. He wouldn't go any further with his manual exploration, staying only on her back and not venturing any further down.

Dani was ready to for Sean to touch her, but thought he would never reach inside her panties, always staying just on the other side of the line of decency. Perhaps this was all the further they would go? Perhaps Sean's conscience would not allow their sibling love to be sullied with carnal physical pleasure. It was probably for the best if they didn't continue this strange behavior, anyway. Dani felt somewhat guilty for not running more interference in their little loving exchange. It should have been up to her to prevent things from progressing too far. But it was her brother who was keeping their affection innocent.

Dani decided not to push him. They had gone further than they should have already, despite how good it felt.

But Sean was not as pure as she thought. He was slow to escalate their loving, but his conscience wasn't the mighty barrier Dani imagined it

was. He was merely afraid of what she would think if he did something so bold as to try and get a feel inside her underwear. But lust was about to take over his hands and satisfy his heart's longing to touch his sister.

Just when Dani had come to terms with Sean's righteous declination, and was ready to let their moment of weakness peter out, his hands finally crossed the line. Sean's fingers slipped under the waistband, tentatively venturing into tender new territory, eliciting a deep, loud breath from Dani as her brother's fingers gently slipped across her most delicate parts. Dani's libido got a fresh, new jolt as she nodded subtly to encourage Sean's exploration. Her conscience didn't feel any better, but her heart was swelling again.

Putting his hands on his sister's naked ass inside her underwear was like putting his hands into heaven. Sean was caressing the tender recesses of the most beautiful ass he'd ever seen and fell even more in love with its owner. He pushed her further onto him, with both hands on the soft, heart-shaped flesh of Dani's butt, encouraging her to rock even faster on his standing tool. Sean looked down at their intimate contact point, watching his jutting underwear get partially enveloped by Dani's camel toe.

Dani slowed down and spread her legs, gapping her underwear slightly and exposing a hint of her pubic hair. Wetness had begun to strike through the fabric of her panties and had darkened the color of his red silk boxers. They watched their sex grind together in a sensual trance, neither wanting the stimulation to stop. Sean pulled his hands out of Dani's underwear and placed them on the inside of her thighs, gently holding them open while the two siblings rubbed their tender parts together.

Sean's eyes were focused on the slight gap in her panties, catching occasional glimpses of her tightly trimmed tuft of hair. He felt alone in his guilty pleasure, stealing glances of his sister's private parts while he had the opportunity. He didn't think she would notice.

But Dani was watching his eyes. She knew what he wanted to see. She knew he was trying to picture what she looked like under those pretty undies.

She could feel his eyes on her, caressing her, warming her vagina, as though the heat of his passion was radiating straight from his eyes.

Although she had resolved not to push them further, what she did next was purely for Sean's benefit. She knew what he wanted, and she wanted to please him. She smiled at him, watching him watch her.

"I'm going to take off my panties," she announced softly, hoping it was exactly what Sean wanted to hear. It was.

Dani wiggled off him and stood up on the floor, hooking her undies with her thumbs. She almost started to pull them straight off, but then thought of a better idea. Her brother was intently watching her, so she decided to entertain him the way only a sexy girl can.

Dani put her hands flat on her hips and slowly pushed down, causing the waistband of her panties to roll under her palms. She peeled them down a few inches, just to the point where her hair became visible, and then turned around. The top of her crack was just peeking out from between her creamy cheeks. Sean's hard cock gained added rigidity at seeing his beautiful sister behave so seductively. She continued rolling the

underwear down, her eyes locked on his, until half of her naked ass was showing.

Without thinking too much about what she was doing, Dani bent over sharply at the waist, slowly pulling her purple and white undies down her thighs and past her knees until they hit the floor, wrapped around her ankles. Her legs were together, but Sean could still see Dani's most private part between her perfect cheeks. Perhaps even she didn't realize she had shown it to him. Sean's breath quivered silently as his sister slowly stood back up and stepped out of the undies.

Unable to refrain from teasing his sister, even in such a hot moment, Sean reached for his pants on the floor and dug his wallet out of the back pocket. He fished around and came up with a couple dollar bills.

Tossing his wallet back on the floor, he waved the money over his head, looking expectantly at Dani.

"Is that what you think of your sister?" she asked, him, trying to sound agitated.

"What? Did you want fives?" he countered.

Dani reached down and grabbed her panties off the floor, throwing them as hard as she could toward Sean's face. Sean allowed himself to be assaulted by the sweet projectile, which fell softly off his face and onto the bed.

"Pfft, this body's worth twenties at least!" she said, a big smile on her face, knowing full well Sean wouldn't believe such narcissistic nonsense coming from her mouth. But she was feeling beautiful, nonetheless, not through her own eyes, but how she perceived Sean to see her.

Dani took two seductive steps toward the bed, her heart beginning to beat a little harder at the exciting feeling of being naked in front of her brother. She felt sexier than she ever had in her life! She watched Sean's eyes take her in. She hoped he liked what he saw. She hoped he liked how her brown hair fell on her naked shoulders, and how her skin was still creamy and just starting to tan, and how she had trimmed her pussy hair just enough to keep it inside her tightest bikini.

What Sean couldn't see was how swollen and wet she had become. Dani could feel it welling up inside of her. She was experiencing the most alarming need to be touched down there, and almost did it herself, but instead put her hands on Sean's shoulders, pushing him back on the bed. She climbed on top of him, smothering him with kisses as her naked body straddled his. Sean lay on his back and absorbed the loving assault from his sister, rubbing her soft legs, from her thighs to her calves.

Dani placated her overwhelming need for vaginal stimulation by letting herself settle onto Sean's firm abdomen. She immediately felt the wetness begin to spill out and smear on his belly, making it slippery. Dani instinctively ground her hips onto him, the sexual stimulation hers alone.

Sean felt the creamy wetness on his belly and looked down to see the glistening trail under his sister's tiny pussy.

Dani kissed Sean's face and neck while still grinding her tender clitoris on him, unaware that he was pushing his own underwear off his hips. Sean

kicked them onto the floor and grabbed his sister's midsection with both hands, pushing her onto the bed and rolling on top of her.

Dani came to rest on her back with Sean between her legs. Her face was serious, with a twinge of fear and apprehension. She knew full-well where all this sex-play had been heading, but she still hadn't accepted that she and her brother might actually have sex, changing their relationship forever. Now it looked like it was really going to happen. She wanted him. She wanted him inside her more than she wanted anything at that moment. But she was afraid—afraid of how they would see each other afterward, afraid of breaking the rules that society had taught them—that to enjoy making love to her brother was simply not allowed. The moment was here and it wouldn't wait any longer.

Sean's hard cock touched her swollen labia and began to nudge between them. Dani's eyes grew wide at the exquisitely guilty pleasure. Poised at the point of no return, Dani panicked and grabbed Sean by the hips, pushing him away.

Sean leaned down and kissed her on the lips. "I don't want to do anything you don't want to do, Weez," he said. "We're doing this together."

"I love you," she said. "I don't ever want to lose what we have!"

"I promise," he reassured. "I love you too."

Dani gazed into his eyes as she felt him move into position again. She felt so safe under him, yet was still afraid. Sean touched her pussy again, but would go no further. Dani put her hands on his hips again, ready to prevent another attempt.

Sean gently rubbed his penis up and down her slippery valley, touching her sensitive clit with the head. He made no attempt at insertion, just gentle caressing. Dani found herself wishing Sean would just force himself in, taking the control out of her hands, bringing them both across the taboo line, but that would not conform to their life-long relationship, and her brother hadn't the capacity to do something so forceful.

The external stimulation began to work them both up, their breathing getting heavy, their eyes earnestly locked on to one another. Sean broke his gaze to look at her beautiful, young body, her pert breasts under him, heaving under her labored breath, her pussy slightly spreading to accept the width of his shaft in its shallow valley. Dani was beautiful.

She was perfectly sexy. She was his sister and he loved her.

He moved back to her entrance, gently nudging the small lips of her pussy open once again, Dani's hands firmly on his hips. This would be the last attempt. He wasn't going to coerce her if she didn't really want to go through with it.

Dani looked solemnly into his eyes, her final decision made, the future of their sibling relationship sealed with the direction she would guide his hips.

Their night of heartbreak and consolation, the anger and humiliation, followed by the exquisite comfort of falling in love, was suddenly and irrevocably consummated with one loving pull of Sean's hips.

Slowly, smoothly Sean slid into Dani, his weight settling onto her as her slippery pussy accepted every inch he had to give her. They both loudly breathed a sigh of relief as the final hurdle was crossed, the questions of conscience finally answered, the fear of the unknown left in their wake, finally leaving them alone to do their lovemaking. Dani put her arms around her brother's neck, begging him with her eyes to express his sibling affection for her in its deepest and most primal form.

"Fuck me," she whispered into his mouth. The beautiful phrase slid off her lips and into his like the first nectar of the honeysuckle lapped up by the hummingbird, begging him to drink more, offering her flower for him alone.

Sean paused deep inside Dani and kissed her gently, as if he still truly loved her as a sister, despite what he was her sexy body. He pumped her once, his firm ass spreading withdrew, and then tightening up as he squeezed into her, another breathy moan from both of them. And again.

to affirm that about to do to slightly as he bringing on

Like the rest of Dani's body, her pussy was perfection, squeezing him tight as he stroked into her wet canal, her swollen flesh unable to hold back the abundance of thick juice inside her, allowing it to ooze out onto Sean. His stroking picked up speed as he fucked her smooth wetness, kissing her lovingly all the while. He was finally inside her. He almost couldn't believe it was really happening.

Sean stopped kissing Dani and stroked her ever more rapidly. His eyes were on hers, but his mind was on her body. At last he rocked back onto his knees and grabbed Dani by her legs, pushing them up high and spreading them wide, allowing him to watch his large cock stroke into his sister's tiny, pretty pussy. Her pink wetness glistened as it took Sean into its quivering depths.

Dani spread her legs for her brother as far as she could manage and watched his sexy tool stroke into her. His firm abdomen flexed with the hip-thrusting, his sexy body expertly working hers. Dani didn't think she could love Sean any more than she already did, but watching his naked body make love to hers was making her heart explode!

She put both hands on his ass and enjoyed the feeling of it flexing in her palms, thrusting his big love into her body. She squeezed his firm buns and pushed him into her in rhythm, causing their bodies to come together with an audible 'slap', her clitoris mashed repeatedly under Sean's pubic hair. Her brother's body fit hers perfectly, and Sean knew just the right speed to guide their lovemaking.

Ever wider Dani attempted to spread her legs, offering her pussy to him in just the right position, making her body as easy as possible to love.

She hoped Sean felt as good as she did. She was safely underneath the sexiest, sweetest lover she'd ever been with. She looked at his beautiful face to try and read his thoughts.

"Are you okay?" Dani asked her younger brother.

"This is the best I've ever been," he affirmed with absolute conviction.

"Are you sure you're not too creeped out by being seduced by your sister?"

"Oh, were you seducing me? I thought it was the other way around."

Dani suddenly grabbed Sean's hips, breaking their loving rhythm and pushed him out of her, their young, sweaty bodies heaving from their labored breathing. Sean looked at her, confused, wondering if he'd said something wrong. But the lust in Dani's eyes told him he hadn't.

Dani abruptly got to her knees and turned around, affording Sean a firstclass view of the sweetest round ass he'd ever known. Slowly, she slid her knees apart on the bed, bending down away from Sean until her breasts touched the sheets, her ass high in the air, her pink valley slightly opening in a not-so-subtle invitation to come fuck her from behind. Dani wasn't an exhibitionist, but she knew how to be seductive. She reached back with one hand and slowly spread her ass apart, showing him her tiny, sexy pink button tucked away inside her shapely cheeks.

Sean thought he would explode with desire, seeing Dani's tender private parts exposed so lustfully, her sweaty feminine allure filling his nostrils. He scooted up behind her and touched his hard tool to her ass, moving it through her sweet, dark valley and dragging it down across her tight rear hole and onto her swollen pussy, where he pushed back into her with the ease of a butter knife into warm jelly.

Sean resumed fucking her rapidly, relishing the delicate, wet clicking sound of Dani's creamy, soaked vagina accepting his slippery tool. For a moment, unable to see her face, he forgot he was behind his sister. It was his dream-girl he was thrusting into, her perfect ass pressing against his balls, grinding her butthole onto the hair above his cock, and then pausing briefly to show it to him, silently begging him to touch it, offering its musky aroma for his pleasure, before grinding it into him once again. The little slut he was fucking didn't know anything else but how to please his cock. He put his thumb on her butthole and rubbed it firmly.

"Oh, god, Sean!" Dani exclaimed, her voice bringing him out of his stupor and back into their loving fold.

"I'm sorry," he said, embarrassed that he had let his libido blindly take control of his actions.

"Why are you sorry?" she asked.

"I don't—" "Don't ever be sorry, baby, okay?" She was craning her neck to look at him.

Sean smiled, embarrassed but comforted in the loving way his sister just spoke to him.

"Do you like touching me there?" she asked.

He nodded sheepishly.

"Then do it. Touch me wherever you want. I like your hands on me." Dani rocked back, burying Sean's cock deep inside her once again. "You like my ass, don't you?" she asked seductively. "You like touching my pretty ass."

Sean smacked her shapely ass cheek, bringing out a high-pitched squeal from his sister. Sean was surprised and delighted at how slutty his

sister suddenly became. He never thought in a million years she would acknowledge the beauty of her own ass, let alone show it off for him. He liked the new side Dani was showing him.

Sean put both hands on her ass, allowing one thumb to gently caress her puckered hidden treasure, bringing on louder moans from her and bringing his climax ever closer.

The only other girl that had talked to Sean like that was Chloe, who was wonderfully slutty in bed and made sex exciting, but there wasn't much else there. Sean came to realize this the moment his hand slapped Dani's ass. He had never much cared what it felt like to Chloe, only what it felt like to him.

But he felt perfectly in tune with Dani's feelings and needs. He loved the person on the other side of that sweet ass. He slapped her again.

"Oh!" She screamed.

He knew exactly what that little jolt of pain did to her. He slapped her again, with love and empathy in his hand.

"Oh, fuck, Sean!"

He stroked into her harder, reading his new lover like an old friend.

With every loving thrust, he chipped away a little more of Dani's broken heart—and his own. With every slap of her ass, he showed her how someone in love with her could give her the most extreme pleasure. With every gentle caress of soft skin, he helped her understand he would be around even after this loving was over.

Sean found himself drifting back into that blessed lovers' trance, Dani rocking back on him in rhythm, her butt jiggling attractively with every bounce off his thighs. The sights, the smells and the sounds were beautifully augmenting the loving feeling he was experiencing between his legs, coalescing into what promised to be a massive orgasm. But, there was something missing—Dani's beautiful face. He needed to taste her lips, smell her breath, gaze into her gorgeous eyes. He disengaged from their position in order to allow Dani to roll back onto the bed.

But she didn't roll over. Instead, she turned around on her knees and put her mouth on Sean's nipple, caressing it with her tongue, working her way up his neck to his ear, all the while coaxing him onto his back, loving on him all the way down.

Dani stretched out on her brother's body putting all her weight on him while holding his hands over their heads, kissing him, dominating him.

Her legs spread and her knees found the bed again as she rocked back and found Sean's cock waiting to re-enter.

Sean stroked up into her, long and smooth, his resting legs feeling relief at finally stretching out. Dani nibbled his ear and whispered to him, allowing her wet tongue to touch his ear as she spoke. "This is how I cum," she said delicately in his ear, still tightly holding his hands above their heads. She said it so softly even she couldn't hear it, as though it was her deepest secret that nobody but Sean could know. "Fuck me hard, okay, baby?" she asked him sweetly.

Sean was more than happy to oblige, speeding up his long strokes and hoping he didn't cum before Dani. "Fuck me hard," she mumbled again, her voice shaking from Sean's incessant pounding.

Dani was pleasantly surprised at how skilled a lover her brother was. She knew he was a ladies' man, always in the company of hot girls, but she hadn't understood why until now. He kissed her at just the right times.

He made eye contact just when she needed it. He sped up and slowed down according to her needs, always keeping the right rhythm, in tune with her body, plugged in. His unassuming nature and eagerness to please made him a dangerously sexy heartbreaker. She thought briefly of Chloe and how stupidly she risked losing such an able lover as Sean for a middling flirt like Chad. Dani considered herself the clear winner of that swap.

"Is it okay to cum in you?" Sean asked, his climax now on the horizon with the non-stop hard thrusting.

Just hearing the question lit Dani's passion from deep within. Nobody had ever had the consideration to ask her permission first. She felt profoundly loved by the sexy person underneath her. So acute was her sudden appreciation of Sean that the climax she had been working up to suddenly came on in an unexpected tide of euphoric tremors, enveloping her body in a hazy ecstasy. As her vagina squeezed and pulsed, she became aware of the very shape of Sean's cock inside her, still thrusting rapidly, still holding off its own euphoric explosion.

"Oh, god, Sean!" she moaned. "Oh, god, baby!" Her orgasm was at the summit. "You..." She could barely get the words out. "Yes..." It was several loud moans before she could speak again. "Cum in me! Please, cum in me!" she breathed. She let go of his hands as she said it.

Finally free to touch her again, Sean's hands went immediately to her ass, holding her still as he pushed in as far as he could, holding, holding, straining off the imminent release, allowing Dani's vaginal contractions to provide the only agitation, gently pushing him over the edge. The timing of her answer could not have been more perfect.

Dani felt Sean begin to ejaculate inside her, his orgasm peaking as her own extended climax began to fall off. She wiggled slightly for him, pressing down hard, taking his cum into her deepest recesses, relishing the warm love her brother was spurting into her. Her waning contractions synced with Sean's, each flex of his cock answered with a shudder of her own.

Together, the two Ellises arrived at the wet fruition of their sibling love, both thankful that they allowed it to happen. Dani pressed her forehead against her brother's as she gently stroked out the last of his contractions with her hips, milking his semen into her already-saturated vagina.

They lay in the same position, head to head, for several long moments, neither of them able to speak, unsure of what they would say if they could. Dani had never been so satisfied by a lover. She did her best to hold still, her sensitive clitoris reacting to every slight tremor with Sean's fully hard cock still inside her. She'd had great orgasms before, but nothing that left her without the capacity to move or speak.

This wonderful lover she was lying on didn't seem like her brother. He didn't seem like anyone she knew. It was as though she'd just made love

to her soul mate, a phantom of her imagination, but unquestionable in his love for her.

As their erratic breathing began to return to normal, the boundaries of Dani's conscience began to recede to their normal state. Suddenly realizing the gravity of what they'd just done, she abruptly pulled off of Sean, and sat on the edge of the bed. One hand found its way to her mouth, involuntarily covering it up as she looked down at the floor, her mind suddenly a blur with conflicting thoughts.

She'd just had the most intense orgasm of her young life, and it was with someone she loved. But Dani's heart was conflicted. She loved her brother, but was she ready to be in love with him? After what they so easily just did together, she knew it could happen like the flip of a switch. And that's what frightened her. A tear escaped her eye and she wiped it off quickly.

"Weez?" asked Sean, concerned.

"I love you," she said, struggling to maintain a level voice.

"I know," he said reassuringly. Sean got up and sat on the edge of the bed with her. She laid her head on his shoulder, immediately feeling the old sibling comfort again. "You know I love you too, right?" Sean added.

Dani nodded. She hugged him tight, feeling a strange rush of their familiar platonic love, despite their nakedness. She felt a little better. "Are we going to be okay?" she asked, fishing for comforting words that she wasn't sure existed.

Sean knew where this was headed and decided it was best to put it all on the table. Their sibling relationship would either grow ever stronger, or be destroyed by their taboo lust-filled night. He asked her straight up.

"Do you regret what we did?"

Dani looked at him for a moment in deep thought. She didn't regret it.

She knew she should feel remorse for blatantly crossing such a sharp social boundary, but she didn't. She raised her eyebrows with conviction and shook her head.

Sean smiled with relief. "Me neither. Do you think we'll ever do it again?"

"I don't know," she replied, looking back down at her feet.

"I don't know either. Will it change how much you love me?"

Dani shook her head again. "Of course not."

"Me neither."

Sean paused a moment, then gave her a crooked smile. "Was it the best sex you ever had?"

Dani looked up at him in surprise. Suddenly, she pounced on him, knocking him back on to the bed and climbing back on top of his naked body.

"You're a bad boy, Sean Ellis!"

"Say it!" he said, finding her underarm with his finger to tickle a confession out of her. "Go on! Say it!"

Dani giggled uncontrollably, but refused to get off her brother. Finally she relented. "Yes! You were the best fuck I ever had!"

Sean ceased his assault on her ticklish spot and allowed her to collapse on top of him, still giggling. Even though she was laughing when she said it, she meant it. She would at least have the memory of this amazing night forever, no matter what happened in the future.

Dani didn't move again for the rest of the night, dozing off on top of Sean, skin on skin, happy that things transpired they way they did, at peace with the beautiful secret they shared. It was as though neither had even felt the pain of a broken heart that night. What they meant to each other was all that mattered.

There was no doubt in either of their hearts that their old love had come through unscathed. But, should they nurture this beautiful, new physical side of their relationship? Or allow it to become only a memory? Dani blissfully slept off those questions, trusting they would work themselves out.

It was a scant three hours before they found themselves downstairs having a well-earned breakfast before leaving the island. Dani picked at her muffin and fruit cup, fighting the lump in her throat with every swallow.

Her emotions had run the gamut this weekend. Happiness and heartbreak, anger and resolution, followed by satiated lust of the highest magnitude had taken their toll over the last twenty-four hours. She had fallen completely out of love with Chad. Her jilted, misdirected affection for him had been replaced with a far truer, far deeper love. She was thankful that the prickly pain of her heartbreak was chased away, but this new pain, one of warmth and longing, was digging its hooks into her heart for the long haul.

She wrapped her legs around Sean's under the table while she finished her breakfast. Their night in that tiny corner bedroom would be forever etched on both their memories.

They prepared to go and thanked the caretaker, who was busy busing tables. "You kids come back and see us," he said.

Dani looked at Sean as he glanced her way. It was a simple farewell, but neither of them knew how to respond. The connotations that it carried pulled at their fragile hearts, as though they would confirm or deny their love with one simple response. Sean studied Dani's beautiful face for about two seconds before he arrived at an answer. "We will," he said, smiling at his sister.

Dani grabbed her brother's hand as they left the house, embarking on their journey back to the mainland and its real world social boundaries and taboos. Both hearts ached at leaving behind their secluded hideaway, leaving behind the secret of their sibling love, but both hearts were comforted knowing that perhaps one day they would return.
